Big Seven photos

Picture a Day February 15, 2011 – Juniper Canyon in Big BendImage by mlhradio
A view of Juniper Canyon in Big Bend National Park, from along the Boot Canyon Trail (you can see ‘Boot Rock’ to the right), which drops from an elevation of seven thousand feet to the desert floor at around three thousand feet. This is some of the most rugged and remote corners of the High Chisos, recommended for experienced hikers and backpackers only. Another view of Juniper Canyon taken the previous year from along the Lost Mine Trail, several miles to the northeast around the canyon walls to the left of this photo. In the far distance peeking out of the smoke and haze is the imposing mountains of the Mesa de Anguila, across the border in Mexico.
